The further into the forest they go the slower time in this place passes relative to the outside world (decaying artifact trying to permanatize a timestop effect from a failing attempt at eternal life for a wizard long since forgotten... subtle backstory to rationalize what i wanted to have happen) So you get kind of a "day in the forest is a month in the world, etc." only the party is not aware of this change in time's "speed".Bla bla bla, plot hook, sidequest, go into this cave and kill off the spiders who are assaulting the grove of this Druid Dryad who, being a dryad, can't actually go down into the cave and clear it out herself.  ....  yah, i think dryads are the good looking fay folk who are bound to a certain tree (or in this case tree-ent) and can't wander away from it.. anyway, she was one of those people.  So, the party leaves the Npc's on the surface of the forest and decend into the cave. With each level they decend, they return to a more normal passage of time, only they dont realize it.  At one point the party decided to split up, half decending and the other half resting on the level they had just cleared out so that made things fun for me because now time was passing at different rates for the two different groups of the party.  It was great to see the exploring group return after an hour or so of "recon" only to find that the resting group hadn't even taken off their armor yet.  It was even more fun when the entire group came back to the surface only to interupt all the Npc's wishing them goodbye and safe passage in the dangers below.   And that was how the party entered the High Forest in early spring, spent 4 days traveling, and emerged as fall was just starting up.  I know it's a rather loose "dungeon" but it's the best story i've got for a thread like this.</blockquote>
